    Imagine playing overwatch since its beginnings and your unable to play overwatch 2, a FREE TO PLAY game because of "smurfing issues" Theres no defending this, but then again, this is classic blizzard customer service.

    @BlizzardCSEU_EN I was just playing with a friend on Overwatch 2 on PC. They got the watch point pack and they were able to play with overwatch 1 heroes. Whilst I didnt, I loaded up my OW1 disc on XBOX to play and I have to complete challenges to re unlock them again. Please fix.

    @BlizzardCSEU_EN I would like to get a REFUND on the ps5 version of the watchpoint pack I bought. One of the sale points of it was access to overwatch 2 at launch. It's been over 15 hours since launch and I still cannot login. It doesn't do what's on a tin. #Overwatch2

  • Hyperlox_ Hyperlox (@Hyperlox_) reported

    @PlayOverwatch Hello, I've been trying to get into overwatch 2 for well over 7hrs now. I keep getting constant errors where all my friends and even people in the same console as me can login except me. so I'd like to know what the problem is exactly.

  • wookietim Timothy Collins (@wookietim) reported

    @RCMhere Overwatch is my favorite game. It's sequel came out yesterday and... they had major problems with their servers from what I suspect was a DDOS attack.

  • adnap77 AD7 (@adnap77) reported

    Is anyone else dealing with lag spikes in overwatch 2. I didn't have any issues in overwatch 1 but now with the change it's lagging alot. #Overwatch2

  • I_D_D_Y Iddy (@I_D_D_Y) reported

    @konoJcvd @XiaoSawk @Sheshounet No theres 800k currently on the csgi servers, if they all entered a new cs server at once it would be the same as overwatch. Plus the ddos isnt in their control

  • BurnedChris Christopher Burns (@BurnedChris) reported

    @chrisbrandrick I tried it this morning and got a few errors on login, but once I was in, it was cool to see all my skins for overwatch 1 (played on PC) were available on overwatch 2 on the Xbox!

  • Shade667 Shade667 (@Shade667) reported

    @NC_KuroRaiden @LETITDIETheGame Yeah Im just dissapointed that the game I was looking forward to playing today isnt playable. This isnt Overwatch 2, no one knows about Let it die so I don't expect a problem like this when the Playstation versions been out for a week.

  • Zychonic That one dude (@Zychonic) reported

    Overwatch should really up the punishment for people who disconnect and at least give us a surrender option Waiting 4 minutes for a round to end, 3v5 is awful. No point in playing and we cant leave

  • FelipeA83361211 Nightwolf (@FelipeA83361211) reported

    @BlizzardCS @BlizzardCS I didn’t get any of my stuff from overwatch 1 as in skin emote and everything else is there a way you can fix this please

  • gluttonooz glut (@gluttonooz) reported

    @BlizzardCS I keep getting the error 'player is in a different version of Overwatch' whenever I'm trying to play with a friend but both of our games have been updated.

  • MoonlightsCoven sydney (@MoonlightsCoven) reported

    @BlizzardCS my and my friend can’t group up on EU servers due to “different version of overwatch” but we can group up on Asian servers is this a result of the DDOS or a bug as were both up to date with the updates
